Unfortunately for the GOP Senate, however, the GOP-controlled House agreed to S. Con. Res. 31 on February 12 without objection. This means that under the plain language of S. Con. Res 31, the Senate is “in recess”–and not in pro forma session.

If this is indeed the case, the Senate is presently in the midst of a 10-day recess (not a pro forma session), and under Noel Canning, President Obama possesses the power to make a recess appointment to the Supreme Court until noon on February 22, when the Senate comes back in session.

Senate goes into recess on Friday, 2/12.

Scalia dies 2/13

Obama won't be able to resist this FU America opportunity. Obama appoints Holder next Friday, 2/19, the day before the South Carolina primary, Saturday, 2/20.

What's it going to take America?

Nothing can wake up the American people: they are too uninformed “about politics”.

Holder will not be the appointee.

This Indian guy 'Sri' will.

So many good well considered comments here.
Scalia dying has hit me hard
I see the left taking advance of this huge opportunity to kill off the Constitution and alter our country once and for all.
It is Absolutely time to March, protest, bother, ridicule, sue, obstruct Every gov’t authority who is a threat to our Constitution.
The time is Now.
This is our existential moment!

RE: “This has really hit me hard.
I felt that Justice Scalia was the one last thread keeping this country from unraveling into progressive chaos. I would have felt the same if we had lost Clarence Thomas.

Then I told myself, when God takes, He also gives.
Now the republican electorate will focus on the most important element of this election - keeping the SC from being overwhelmed by Progressives.

I think it will benefit Cruz. I pray it does.

And yes, this piece of crap as president couldn’t have dishonored Scalia more at the podium. He should have stayed on the golf course.”
